About Me


"this is me. my songs are me. my music is me. all the elements which make ME. and what am i really? only a normal-daily-living-with-a-steady-job kind of person, with my feet tied firmly to the ground of reality. but hey... this only makes the fun of dreaming about somthing else a lot more JOYOUS, doesn't it? i mean- someday it may happen to me. or it may not. but it's all the same in the end, don't you get it? who wants to fulfill all his dreams anyway...?? "[some basic details: born 20.10.72, yohanan kressel already took part in two israeli indie bands- Blueband and Lenses (myspace.com/lenzez), which are based in the southern city of be'er sheva, Israel, before recording his own debut solo album 'Osher' ('Happiness') in the 'Cactus Records' indie lable, run by David Peretz (myspace.com/david peretz) and Elad Shopen (of Lenses). the album is due somewhere in the very near future (months, that is), if the superior (and other) forces will allow it. then what? guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens, won't we...?]
